The Simpson women’s basketball team nearly put up triple digits in their conquest of Westminster Tuesday afternoon in game two of their holiday tournament, taking down the Blue Jays 99-66.
The Storm blitzed late in the first quarter after a slow start from both teams, with the Storm leading 13-9 after the first six minutes of the first quarter, but going on a 19-7 run to lead 32-16 after the first, and 51-33 at the halftime break. The Storm kept up the pressure in the third, outscoring the Blue Jays 23-19 to lead 76-52 after three, then scoring another 23 points to get to 99.
Jenna Taylor scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Storm, who improve to 9-1 on the season, and will next play after Christmas in the Loras Tournament on December 29th.
